Mung bean
Vigna radiata
Mung bean is a fast-growing warm-season legume that is easy to grow in any sunny garden bed or container. Sow seeds directly into well-draining soil after the last frost and water consistently through flowering and pod development. Harvest seeds when pods turn black for culinary use, or sprout seeds indoors year-round on a damp tray.
